Description :

“Sunderland” is an original acrylic by Ross Buckland, depicting the iconic Short Sunderland flying boat in low flight over open water. Buckland’s crisp realism and disciplined brushwork highlight the aircraft’s distinctive hull, four‑engine structure, and powerful presence as it skims above rolling waves. Soft atmospheric light and subtle cloud formations frame the scene, emphasizing both the engineering beauty of the Sunderland and the drama of maritime aviation. The composition is bold, balanced, and unmistakably Buckland—technical accuracy paired with narrative clarity.

Artist Bio — Ross Buckland (Canadian, b. 1958)

Ross Buckland is a Canadian painter celebrated for his detailed, atmospheric depictions of aviation, maritime subjects, wilderness landscapes, and historic transportation. Born in Calgary in 1958, he is largely self‑taught, having developed his technique independently after only high‑school art training. His lifelong fascination with aircraft, northern terrain, and working‑class narratives informs the strong storytelling and precision seen throughout his work.

Influenced by master aviation artists Frank Wootton, Keith Ferris, and R.G. Smith, Buckland works primarily in oil and acrylic on board or canvas, known for crisp linework, luminous skies, and meticulous attention to aircraft structure. His paintings have been exhibited in respected venues including Trailside Galleries and Tabora Gallery, and he has received honors from the American Society of Aviation Artists, including the prestigious Founders’ Gold Award.
